<td class="v">7:3</td>
<td>So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man.</td>

<td class="v">7:4</td>

<td class="v">7:5</td>

<td class="v">7:6</td>
<td>But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.</td>

<td class="v">7:7</td>

<td class="v">7:8</td>
<td>But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For without the law sin was dead.</td>

<td class="v">7:9</td>
<td>For I was alive without the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died.</td>

<td class="v">7:10</td>

<td class="v">7:13</td>

<td class="v">7:21</td>
